Moshanir

What Moshanir does

Moshanir (مشانیر) Electrical Engineering Services Company is an Iran-domiciled, privately held engineering consultancy founded in 1969 and headquartered in Tehran. With 3,000+ specialized engineers and 56 years of continuous operation, the firm has delivered 4,700+ national, regional, and international projects and currently maintains 300+ active engagements across power generation, power transmission and distribution, water resources, transportation, urban planning, oil/gas/petrochemicals, project management, water and wastewater treatment, environmental services, and financing advisory. Notable deliverables include the 2,880 MW Damavand Combined Cycle Power Plant, the 926 km Tehran-Mashhad Electric Railway, the Qeshm Island 230 kV submarine transmission line, and a 38.5% capacity optimization at the Dez Dam hydropower plant.

The firm holds 38 consulting qualification grades and Project Management Consultancy (MC) licenses from Iran's Planning and Budget Organization, including Grade One certifications in Environment, Railway, Water & Wastewater, Power Distribution, and hydropower plant O&M. Moshanir operates a portfolio of ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 27001 certifications plus HSE-MS, and maintains bilateral technical partnerships with international engineering firms including Tractebel-ENGIE, EDF, Nippon-Koei, Poyry, Stucky, SMEC, AF-Colenco, ILF, and Lahmeyer.

The business model is professional services revenue earned through tender-based contracts with Iranian government ministries, regional authorities, and state-owned enterprises, complemented by export-of-services to 13 countries. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated through formal tender processes with no public pricing list. Recent strategic shifts include a transition toward principal investment in power and water infrastructure: a 25 MW distributed-generation license in Juybar County and a consortium with MAPNA, Pournam, and Tableieh for a Sea of Oman-to-Kerman water transfer project. The firm is structurally insulated from international sanctions in that Western consultants such as Lahmeyer have withdrawn, leaving Moshanir as a low-cost domestic alternative for Iran's sanctioned economy.
